Humans have been choice-makers since the days when hunter-gatherers had to decide when to hunt and what to gather. Making choices is what humans do. But individuals feel more personal autonomy and power to choose today than ever before in human history. In Choosing Change, author Peter Coutts explores theories, ideas, and terms that are most pertinent for leaders who desire to encourage congregational change. He then offers detailed guidance for congregational leaders who want to be motivational leaders.
Peter Coutts has twenty-six years of congregational experience, including church planting and as lead minister of one of Canada's largest Presbyterian congregations. He has taught congregational revitalization as an adjunct professor in the D.Min. program at McCormick Seminary in Chicago. Currently Peter divides his time between coaching congregational pastors and leaders in 13 Presbyterian congregations in southern Alberta, and executive coaching and consulting in both congregational and business settings.
